How to download from Qt Project Git Repository Browser?

[Sprezzatura]

How does one download code from the Qt Project Git Repository Browser, located here:

https://code.qt.io/cgit/

I can access each file individually, but surely there is a simple way to download the whole project in one step? (Like GitHub).

Hi,

Do you mean get a zip file with all the content of a module ?

[aha_1980]

@Sprezzatura within each project, there are the git clone URLs for that project.

[Sprezzatura]

@SGaist Yes, a ZIP file with all the content necessary to build the project.

@aha_1980 I'm looking at this project:

https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtstyleplugins.git/

Do you mean these links?

http://code.qt.io/qt/qtstyleplugins.git
https://code.qt.io/qt/qtstyleplugins.git

When I click, I get 404 "Not found".

Those are git clone URLs. Use your git client to clone them.

(For example, if you run your git bash shell, call git clone https://code.qt.io/qt/qtstyleplugins.git from the command line)

code.qt.io does not provide Zip functionality. Use your git client to clone the repository, or find the mirror on GitHub and use its Zip functionality: https://github.com/qt/qtstyleplugins

@JKSH OK, I understand. I was hoping to avoid Git altogether (I'm happy with Subversion), but looks like I will have to drink the Kool-Aid :o)

Thanks, all.

Hi
Whats wrong with the mirror @JKSH suggests ?

[Sprezzatura]

@mrjj Excellent suggestion. Unfortunately I am running into a problem with the compilation of that ZIP, as described here:

https://forum.qt.io/topic/103456/project-qtstyleplugin-github-compilation-errors

I was not sure whether "https://code.qt.io/cgit/" was different? I guess it's the same?

I'm just looking for ready-to-use Qt styles that I can apply to my app. I wasn't looking to get heavy into the style customization at this point. I have searched for ready-made Qt styles, have not found any. It would seem designing a style involves a lot of detail. Other technologies seem to have a plethora of "skins" crafted by people with a better aesthetic than me :o)

Hi
I recall for some reason it didn't compile for you.
I did make the old plugins. Are you sure its what you are after?
The look is not very modern and they are sort of from a forgotten area.

I have not seen many QStyles, ready for use as such.
However, you could try out

This is what I was looking for (provided to me by an expert who is available for consultation):

https://github.com/GTRONICK/QSS
https://github.com/Jorgen-VikingGod/Qt-Frameless-Window-DarkStyle
https://github.com/Lumyo/darkorange-pyside-stylesheet
https://github.com/EClaesson/QTDark
https://github.com/ColinDuquesnoy/QDarkStyleSheet

Here is the code to add a style sheet:

    QApplication a(argc, argv);
         ....
    QFile qssfile("Ubuntu.qss");
    if (qssfile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly)
    {
        QByteArray cssfile;
        cssfile = qssfile.readAll();
        a.setStyleSheet(cssfile);
    }
